History: (Namor I#59
(fb)) - Former KGB
operative, Bogatin, contacted other KGB operatives in the west after
the dissolution of the Soviet Union and put together the Organizatsiya,
a 'black market ring to peddle Russia's latest military hardware...
including its nuclear stockpiles.'

(Namor I#59 (fb) - BTS) - Advanced
Idea Mechanics
hired the Organizatsiya to supply nuclear reactors for each of the
artificial islands they were constructing. At the island in
the
Caribbean, Bogatin arranged to sabotage a Soviet submarine, the
Sverdlovsk, and then give it to A.I.M. The task
malfunctioned,
however, as the submarine was carrying plutonium. Realizing
that
they would need an operative who could withstand high amounts of
radiation to make the mission successful, Bogatin decided to recruit
the Abomination against his will.

(Namor I#58) - Members of the
Organizatsiya kidnapped
Nadia Dornova, the estranged wife of the Abomination, from her Broadway
play in New York. Meanwhile, in the Hellencian Trench aboard
their ship, Viktor and Bogatin looked over the Sverdlovsk and measured
its radiation. They planned to transport the sub back to
A.I.M.
Island, but noticed a figure approaching and so cloaked their
ship. The figure, Namor, investigated the Sverdlovsk and when
he
exited, the Organizatsiya planned to kill him, but the arrival of the
Avengers stopped them. The Avengers battled Namor for a
separate
offense. Seeing so many super-powered foes, Viktor contacted
Leonid and his ally in New York and had them enter the sewers to find
the Abomination. They did so, letting the monster know they'd kidnapped
his wife, and the Abomination agreed to go with them.
Undersea,
Namor was joined by his allies, Deep Six, and the two teams
battled. After the battle ended, only Namor, Andromeda,
Stingray,
and Triton did not depart, and the Abomination moved to attack them
because they were in the way of the Sverdlovsk.

(Namor I#59) - Abomination quickly
defeated Triton
and Andromeda, and Stingray swam off to investigate the cloaked
submarine. Using an electromagnetic pulse relay, Bogatin and
Viktor disabled Stingray's armor and took him captive, placing him with
Nadia in the hold. Namor almost defeated the Abomination, but
the
Organizatsiya threatened Stingray's life unless Namor helped the
Abomination. When Andromeda accidentally pierced the side of
the
sub, a deadly fine precision spray of water exploded in the ship with
the force of a laser. Stingray blocked it with a pipe, but
Viktor, investigating, removed the pipe and was killed by the
water. Stingray escaped, and Bogatin rushed to the escape
pod. Triton was aboard the Sverdlovsk when it exploded,
wiping
out the island, though Triton survived. When Bogatin arrived
on
Brighton Beach, where all the Organizatsiya members were supposed to
meet, he found the beach covered in bodies and the Abomination standing
among them. Bogatin was apparently killed.

(Namor I#59 (fb)) - Bogatin was a
KGB operative
assigned with Emil Blonsky to infiltrate the American Gamma base, where
Bruce Banner had harnessed gamma radiation. When Blonsky
disappeared, Bogatin was recalled. He eventually determined
that
Blonsky had become the gamma-powered Abomination, who he kept tabs
on. When the Soviet Union dissolved, Bogatin went his own way
and
moved to the west, where he created the Organizatsiya with other KGB
operatives. On one mission, A.I.M. hired the Organizatsiya to
supply their artificial islands with nuclear reactors. When
the
mission with the Sverdlovsk went wrong, Bogatin arranged to recruit the
Abomination against his will.

(Namor I#58) - Bogatin and Viktor
were required to
cloak their ship when many superhumans ended up battling around the
Sverdlovsk. Bogatin ordered Leonid to recruit the Abomination
after Nadia was kidnapped.

(Namor I#59) - Bogatin recounted
his origins to
Viktor, then saw Stingray captured. After getting Namor to
help
them, Bogatin realized Viktor was killed and Stingray free.
He
barely made it to the escape pod, driving past Andromeda on his way
out. When he returned to Brighton Beach to meet his team,
Bogatin
saw their bodies on the beach, and was then presumably killed by the
Abomination.

(Namor I#58) - A member of the
Organizatsiya, Viktor
and Bogatin were required to cloak their ship when several superheroes
gathered around the Sverdlovsk, the object of an Organizatsiya
mission. Viktor carried out Bogatin's orders.

(Namor I#59) - Viktor listened to
Bogatin recount the
Organizatsiya's origins, then helped capture Stingray.
Investigating a noise by the prisoners, Viktor pulled an unfamiliar
pipe from the wall and was killed by a high precision blast of water.

(Namor I#58) -
A member of the Organizatsiya, Leonid was sent to the New York sewers
to find the
Abomination. Leonid used a Geiger tracker to find the
monster,
then showed him a picture of his kidnapped estranged wife to recruit
him.
